MathJax doesn't convert \bf

Question

here is my JS part

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({
    displayAlign: "center",
    extensions: ["tex2jax.js"],
    menuSettings: {
        zoom: "Click",
        CTRL: false,
        ALT: false,
        CMD: false,
        Shift: false,
        zscale: "250%",
        font: "Auto",
        context: "MathJax",
        mpContext: false,
        mpMouse: false,
        texHints: true
    },
    TeX: {
        Macros: {
          RR: '{\\bf R}',
          bold: ['{\\bf #1}', 1]
        }
    },
    errorSettings: {
        message: ["[", ["MathProcessingError", "Math Processing Error"], "]"],
        style: {
            color: "#CC0000",
            "font-style": "italic"
        }
    },
    jax: ["input/TeX", "output/SVG"],
    tex2jax: {
        inlineMath: [
            ['$', '$'],
            ['\\(', '\\)']
        ],
        displayMath: [
            ['$$', '$$'],
            ['\\[', '\\]']
        ],
        preview: ["[math]"],
        processEscapes: true
    },
    "SVG": {
        blacker: 10,
        font: "TeX",
        scale: 100,

    },
    MathMenu: {
        delay: 150,
        helpURL: "http://www.mathjax.org/help-v2/user/",
        showRenderer: true,
        showMathPlayer: true,
        showFontMenu: true,
        showContext: false,
        showDiscoverable: true,
    }
});
</script>

as you could see, I already put there that part with Tex and Macros and also with \bf. Here is my displaying text

<p>
Nachr. {\bf 28} (1964), 1--43.
</p>

but it doesn't parse that part with \bf. Of course, when I have another latex parts in the text, it converts without problems, just this is problem to convert \bf to particular output.

Any help? Thanks

No it doesnt help. If that current text is between $...$, it's ok but still. It should gives correct output because of ['\$', '\$'] @AlexisPigeon — user997777, Aug 26 '14 at 10:14

MathJax only processes material in math mode, not text mode. Since your {\bf 28} is not in math mode, MathJax does not see it.

You need to use HTML tags for marking within text. You should use

<p>
Nachr. <b>28</b> (1964), 1&#x2013;43.
</p>

for this. Having MathJax process text-mode macros like this is outside the scope of MathJax's design.
